Chapter 37 Busy
Just as Shen Jingcheng expected, almost as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhengshu rejected the offer to Yin Zi.

"I don't want money."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhengshu realized that he was a little anxious to answer, and his old face couldn't help but blush.

Ever since his family members died, he always thought about how miserable his old age would be. If someone was willing to take care of him in the old age, that would be what he wished for.

You don't even need to take care of yourselves, just bury him with a straw mat after his death, and don't let his body be exposed to the wilderness.

A person who has no one to collect his body is a lonely ghost after death. He cannot enter the Hall of Yama and cannot enter reincarnation. He is afraid that he will not be able to see his relatives after death.

Seeing that Jiang Zhengshu was so excited, Shen Jingcheng waited for him to calm down before continuing: "The winter here is very cold, I will spare a room today, and find someone to build a kang tomorrow, and when the kang is dry, you can move to my house. ?”

Don't let this old man who doesn't distinguish between grains freeze to death in the nest in winter.

"Hey, hey." Jiang Zhengshu repeatedly agreed, but he didn't know what to say.

He really didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be cared about by others. He would definitely, definitely teach these two children well.

"Then tell me what books to prepare, and I'll buy them together when I go to find someone else tomorrow." Shen Jingcheng said again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhengshu asked the two of them what they had read, and when they heard that the two of them only knew a few words and hadn't read books seriously, he immediately named out a few basic enlightenment books.

"Let's start with the simple ones first, and then learn the others when you can master these books." Jiang Zhengshu said this, with a rare expression on his face.

Shen Jingcheng carefully wrote down the names of the few books he mentioned, and then he and Gu Jin started to tidy up the room where the farm tools were kept in the far west.

This year, due to the failure of the summer grain crops and the fact that the people in the West Village have been raised for a few months, the food is obviously not as much as in previous years, and the farm tools can be temporarily moved to the room where the grain is stored.

Seeing that the two children were busy, Jiang Zhengshu also followed suit with a rare wink. He didn't leave easily until all the farm tools were moved.

He will try his best to live, as long as he can live, he wants to see what happens to those people in the end.

Because of this change, after Jiang Zhengshu left, Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin readjusted some plans.

Originally, the two wanted to build a few side houses on the basis of the yard as granaries, and then build a six-room yard in front of the yard for hired workers to live in.

Now the area of ​​their house on the slope is more than 60 meters from north to south, and more than [-] meters from east to west. The combined length of the two courtyards can almost occupy the entire width of the slope from north to south. It is completely separated from the Gu family in the east.

But with today's changes, they have to study, build houses, take care of livestock, and take care of so many people's food, fields and hired labor. There are so many things that only the two of them will be overwhelmed. This requires additional manpower, and it is very necessary to buy people.

Just like the question at the beginning, where will the buyer live?
Do you live in the current courtyard with the two and Jiang Zhengshu, or live with hired workers?
But no matter where they live, they have to build a house, and if the other two want to study, they must have a place to study.With so much land planted, it is impossible for them to sell grain to small traders like in previous years. If they are looking for grain traders, they must have a place to entertain guests, so they have to build houses again, but if they continue to build like this, it is better to rebuild a yard.

In addition, although Shen Jingcheng decided to give Jiang Zhengshu an old age, Jiang Zhengshu is an outsider after all, and as Gu Jin grows up, Shen Jingcheng feels that it is not convenient to live together, and he likes to be alone with Gu Jin. Take care of a lot.

In the end, the two gritted their teeth and decided not to build any side houses except for the courtyard where the hired workers lived. Instead, they directly rebuilt a courtyard house on the west side of the yard, with six main rooms, three side rooms in the east and west, and a south side. A courtyard house with a gate building, two side rooms and two kitchens.

Now this yard is for Jiang Zhengshu and the people who bought it later, and they will move to the newly built courtyard.

In this way, it is not only convenient for the two of them, Jiang Zhengshu will be taken care of at all times, the buyer will have a place to live, a warehouse, a study, and a place to entertain guests, and he will be farther away from the Gu family. It's not easy anymore.

After making the decision, Gu Jin felt empty and light all over, and his feet could not touch the ground.

In this way, all the money they have accumulated over the years will be gone.

After making a plan, the two got busy the next day.

They first went to the county to find the craftsman who built the house, and asked the craftsman to find someone to put Jiang Zhengshu's kang on the table. At the same time, they also asked him to quickly get the materials needed to build the house. While the weather and temperature are still available, they can quickly lay the foundation and try their best before entering the house. Build all the houses before winter, otherwise, when the hired workers come next year, they will not be in a hurry to build the houses again.

Shen Jingcheng left, and the craftsman who built the house went out to find someone, and the contact person went to buy goods.

He really didn't expect to receive such a big job after autumn, and the construction period was extremely rushed, which required a lot of craftsmen to work together. Fortunately, most of the work in the fields has already been busy, so it is easy to find someone, and it is hard to plan. If it is good, it should not be a problem to finish the house before winter.

After leaving the craftsman's house, Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin went to the iron shop to order some agricultural tools, and asked the shopkeeper to find some permanent and temporary workers for next year, so that they had time to buy books and the four treasures of the study at the bookstore.

Two days later, the craftsmen who built the house brought a large group of people to dig the foundation, and then the lime, sand and wood needed to build the house began to arrive intermittently.

During his busy schedule, Shen Jingcheng also stopped teaching the children in the village to practice, and told them that if he persisted in practicing every day, even if he couldn't achieve great achievements, he could still strengthen his body.

Although the children were disappointed, they also knew that Shen Jingcheng was busy, so they didn't bother them any more, and obediently went back to start their own practice days.

Gu Dani looked at the hot scene here, with resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

All of this should have been hers, and it should have been her life.

As soon as Gu Changping went out, he saw Gu Dani standing at the gate of the courtyard looking west, walked quickly to come behind her, grabbed her back collar and dragged her back to the courtyard.

"Go back to the house." Gu Changping suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth, and angrily reprimanded Gu Dani who was staggered and almost fell by him.

Although Gu Changping is usually very strict, he has never touched the children in the family. This is the first time that Gu Dani faced Gu Changping with an angry face, and her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly got up and ran into the house.

Looking at Gu Dani who ran away in a panic, Gu Changping closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm.

I don't know how this girl's brain grows, can't she see how much the surname Shen loves her second daughter, and how much she doesn't want to see her, the eldest sister?

I don't know if the boy surnamed Shen didn't know about the incident a few days ago, so he didn't move, or he was holding back some big moves.

But he knew that this kid was not a simple person because of his agility that he could get rid of Dongcun immediately if he wanted to.

Originally, he wanted to marry Dani closer, just in case something happened that he could take care of, but considering the current situation, it is better to marry far away.

Otherwise, if something happens to this ignorant girl, it will be a minor embarrassment, and I don't know if I can still live.
